Red Roses

Oil on linen, 10 by 10. I put every shade of red on my palette that I found in my paint drawer from cadmium scarlet through magenta and used most of them. No white mixed in, I tried a touch of naples yellow for the lightest parts.

Portrait of Romy

                                                                oil on linen 10 by 10
This is a portrait of my daughter's darling dog Romy. We lost him a few months ago to kidney disease at the age of eight, and we all miss him terribly. Of course I have done a little portrait of him for myself as well.

Jo and Me

                                                               oil on linen 16 by 20
This is from a snapshot I had of my daughter and me when she was about three. This was prior to digital cameras and the photo was crumbling, so I decided I had to use it for a painting reference before it deteriorated completely.

Standing Figure

          Conte crayon on paper. One of my favorite figure drawings done in my weekly drawing group from live models. Someone else like it too so it has been sold.
